The one was an officer of the court.

From article;

Scott said that his office began its probe in April and used undercover agents to buy illicit training certificates from the operation, which relied heavily on word of mouth.

The men arrested in the case were identified as 42-year-old Adam Chaykin of Columbus, 48-year-old Ken Fouch of Columbus and 62-year-old John Marshall of Madison Township. Each has been charged with one count of complicity to falsification to obtain a concealed-carry permit.

They could face up to a year in prison and a $2,500 fine if convicted. All three men have posted bond.

Employment records show that Fouch is a Franklin County court security officer.

Marshall, a certified firearms instructor, sold signed training certificates to Chaykin and Fouch, Scott said

The cause of this apparently was that at the bottom of his heart he knew all the time (or thought he knew) that he was in reality not a man, but a wolf of the Steppes."

Some of us make the effort to do things right for the students, and make sure it meets the letter of the law. Whether I agree with the training requirement or not is another issue, but, the law is what it is.

When you sign your application in Ohio, you are attesting to having taken a qualified course that meets the standards set out in the law. So the students most likely knew what they were doing too.
